Instead of a recipe today, I'm offering some toast inspiration! So often I'm ooh-ing and aww-ing alone at the table while eating one of the world's most delicious open faced sandwiches, so it felt right to share.
Of course toast and toppings don't really seem to fit into the 'recipe' category. There is no recipe and you can't go wrong! But sometime we just need a little inspiration about what to eat next. As for my diet, I'm bound to eat something like this a couple of times a week for lunch. These days I've been making some great sandwiches too, even a triple-decker the other day!
So, where to start? Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bread, that's where! Of course the choice is yours, but this is the only bread I buy. Made from whole ingredients, sprouted grains and lots of other goodies, there's no other bread like it. Admittedly, I like it because it's crispy when toasted and super healthy. I buy the grain and seed kind- in a blue bag. You buy it directly from the freezer at most stores, and from my freezer at home it goes straight into the toaster. I'm not a fan of it 'fresh' as it's a little try, but for toast- Winner!

As for toppings, I use some combinations of protein/fat, veggies and some flavour. More specifically- a mashed up avocado, hummus, a nut pate or a cheesy cashew spread. Then I go for veggies- spinach, tomato, cucumber, onions, cabbage, peppers, lettuce, sauteed mushrooms, etc. And always salt and pepper. The past few days I've also added olives, hot peppers, sundried tomatoes or something in that 'umph' category to give it a little extra zing. Of course I love Vegenaise as a spread for a sandwich and some sort of Dijon mustard. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar are also pleasing. Truly, the opportunities are endless and delicious.
Now here's a few more pictures to get your sandwich creativity flowing! Enjoy!
